Noon - 1:00 pm: Picnics, crafts, and fun!

Aside from a day at the beach, Blithewold’s Family Fun Fridays are the ultimate family-friendly way to enjoy an early summer afternoon. Bring a picnic, a blanket to sit on, and enjoy the show! Each week, dance and sing along with the kids to a variety of educational and interactive musical performances.

After the performance from 11 to Noon, there will be a fun nature-inspired craft activity, face painting, and free slices of pizza from Leo’s Ristorante from noon to 1 p.m. (Since there is only one slice of pizza per person, you may want to bring additional food items for your picnic.)
Rain or shine!

Keith presents a one-of-a-kind show that will delight everyone with its unique mix of funny and original songs and stories, tongue-twisting poems, oddball characters, and on-the-spot cartoon drawing.

July 18 – Celtic Music & Stories
Come enjoy the enchantment of Irish travels through "Celtic Music & Stories." Hear the tin whistle and button accordian while Mary King plays the Celtic harp, fiddle and bodhran. Join the band as the percusssion section and dance the Irish jig. Follow the adventures of "Jack and his animals" as they wander the Celtic countryside. Sing along to "A Big Ship Sailing" and :The Frog's Marriage." Fun for everyone -- little and big kids alike!

The Toe-Jam Puppet Band offers a special brand of hands-on children's entertainment that grown-ups can even enjoy. The interactive performance will encourage kids and parents to sing and dance as the band entertains us with a unique combination of original songs, masterful shadow puppetry, storytelling, and just plain old good fun.

BUG OUT! With Karen K & the Jitterbugs, playing retro-rock for the whole family! Karen K has built a steady following up and down the east coast with her high-energy shows and clever, genre-swirling, and totally catchy tunes. Their inaugural album Pancakes for Dinner, and brand new Big Ol’ Truck have made Karen K & her Jitterbugs favorites among kids and adults.

Come gather around and share a "Musical Celebration" with Christopher Kavi Carbone, the Musical Storyteller of lightness and warmth. Christopher specializes in songs and stories that fill the heart with joyousness and free spirit! This is not just a performance—it’s a true celebration of our communities, our world, and life itself!

Kaleidoscope Theatre, a professional touring children’s theatre company, creates an opportunity for talented young people to develop theatrical abilities by encouraging them to participate in producing and performing in theatrical plays. The goal of each performance is to educate and entertain young people through the medium of presentational and participatory drama.

Lily days

Lily has to be one of the most overused descriptors in horticulture. Go figure, given how aptly it defines so many flowers: the word itself has a trumpeting flare and and if I use my imagination, a sweet fragrance too… Spring is plenty-lily-ful with trout lily, lily of the valley, checkered lilies, and lily-flowering tulips doing their thing, but starting […]

North Garden inventory
(Jul 17, '15)
I’m asked often enough to name my favorite plant and season that it’s a little strange that hardly anyone* ever asks which is my favorite garden. Not that I could possibly pick a favorite (the pollinator garden). But since I featured the Rose Garden (my other favorite) last week, I can’t let this week go by without giving Blithewold’s pièce de […]

Rose Garden inventory
(Jul 10, '15)
Thank goodness for rainy days. Without them, we stay outside and never get around to tidying the potting shed, defrosting the fridge, or keeping up with the paperwork. (Not to mention how happy the gardens are after a good downpour.) I’m grateful too that Betsy worked on the blog last week because aside from the pleasure of seeing Blithewold’s gardens […]
